[edit] Synopsis
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Max, a 13-year-old boy is kidnapped from his father. Prue receives a cryptic plea for help through a Ouija board, "HELP MAX." She and Phoebe spring into action to save Max, a witch who has been kidnapped by a pair of vicious thugs aiming to make use of Max's powers to aid in the commission of a bank robbery. Meanwhile, Piper gets distracted from her troubles at work by the unexpected return of her lover Leo, but when Phoebe accidentally stumbles across the true reason Leo has come back, she begs him to tell Piper the surprising truth.

[edit] Allies
- Max Franklin: Max Franklin was a young boy who inherited psychokinetic powers from his mother. Unfortunately, she died when he was very young and had therefore not been able to prepare him to deal with his power. Max is later kidnapped by a friend's brother, in order for him to break into a bank, and his father is too terrified to say anything to the police. However, Max manages to send a distress signal to Prue (with the help of Leo Wyatt), who comes to his aid.

[edit] Trivia
- The episode title is a play on words to the 1996 movie Secrets & Lies.
- We learn in this episode that Leo is a Whitelighter.
- This is the first episode where we can see there are male witches.
- In this episode, Leo refers to his superiors as The Founders, but in later episodes, they are referred to as The Elders.
- In this episode, there are certain points of contention about the role and powers of whitelighters. For example, Leo tries to sense Prue but to no avail; however, in future episodes, Leo is able to sense his charges unless they're magically shielded or in the Underworld. Also, Leo says that witches aren't supposed to know about their Whitelighters but in future episodes it's clear a lot of witches do know, for example, the witch with the power of deflection in Blinded by the Whitelighter knew about Nathalie, her whitelighter.
